Birding on Saturday 5-Apr-2003 at Magee/Ottawa - D and I visited the western edge of Ottawa, the entrance of Ottawa, the back roads and flooded farm fileds near Magee, and the boardwalk at Magee. It was still a good day for ducks. We observed: Mallard, N. Shoveler, Bald Eagle sitting in a nest, N. Harrier, Ring-necked Ducks, Turkey Vulture, Am. Kestrel, Scaup, Blue-winged Teal, 5 Greater Yellowlegs in farm field, Green-winged Teal, Red-headed Ducks, Am. Wigeon, Gadwall, Am. Black Ducks, Wood Ducks, E. Meadowlark, Bonaparte Gulls, Field Sparrow, Ruddy Duck, Pied-billed Grebe, Juncos, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Brown Creepers, 7 deer a few yards from the boardwalk, 2 - E. Phoebes, 25+ Fox Sparrows, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, 12+ Winter Wrens, Common Mergansers. The numbers of Ring-necked and Am. Wigeon were still high in the farm fields. A lot of Blue-winged Teal were scattered in different places. The weather was cloudy, temps in the 30's, winds w-nw at 15-25 mph, and a few snow flurries. A fine early April day.
